Give It 2 U

Kendrick LamarRobin ThickeSingle Release0 Comments

Thicke releases the single, Give It 2U, from his album, Blurred Lines.The song features Kendick Lamar as well as 2 Chainz. Thicke:

I reached out to 2 Chainz, because I’m a big 2 Chainz fan and I think Kendrick is amazing. So the funny thing was, my management sent it to Kendrick while I had sent it 2 Chainz. So I already had a 2 Chainz version and then suddenly we hear that Kendrick loves the record and already recorded a verse. And I was like, ‘Oh my god, this is incredible.’ So they’re both on the song now, because it’s just too good.
